LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — The NWS has issued a Severe T-Storm Watch for most of the ABC13 area until 10 p.m. A Tornado Watch has been issued for Northern and Eastern Virginia. It does also include Nelson County. While I don’t think we’ll see a huge number of storms, the ones which develop will be strong. Across the ABC13 area, a few to scattered t-storms, some strong, will form through the evening. Storms will increase in coverage late afternoon and evening.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — After a very wet May for Virginians, we will begin June with much drier weather. This will be an abrupt weather pattern change for us. I do not anticipate a drought during June, but the first week of the month looks dry. The middle of June looks wetter. SEE ALSO: Gov.

(WSET) — The ABC13 Weather Team is declaring a Weather Alert Day for two days: Monday and Tuesday. Widespread rain, heavy at times. 2” to 4” amounts for the ABC13 area. This is the 2-day total. The NWS has issued a Flood Watch. This means watch for rising water on rivers, creeks. (This is a slow rise in water levels, instead of rapid flash flooding.) We will avoid major flooding problems with local rivers, but the Dan River in South Boston could have water near or over 501.
